West MAXVU8 Digital Temperature Controller
The West MAXVU8 is a 1/8 DIN temperature controller that brings the same fast-setup philosophy as the MAXVU16 to a larger panel format, with a bigger high-visibility display for applications where readability from a distance matters. It combines flexible sensor inputs and configurable outputs in a rugged, easy-to-commission package suited to a wide range of industrial heating duties.
How It Works
MAXVU8 accepts thermocouple, PT100 RTD, or a wide range of DC linear inputs, and its 2 or 3 configurable outputs can be set as relay or solid-state relay (SSR) to suit heat-only or heat/cool strategies. Two configurable alarms support absolute, deviation, band, or loop modes with latching or non-latching outputs, and built-in ramp/dwell functionality with adjustable delay timing helps manage startup and process transitions. Like the rest of the MAXVU range, it can be configured entirely from the front-panel keys or through dedicated MAXVU software with a graphical setup wizard.
Key Features
- Larger 1/8 DIN format with high-visibility 18mm upper and lower display digits
- Thermocouple, RTD, and DC linear input options
- 2 or 3 configurable relay or SSR outputs for heat-only or heat/cool control
- Two configurable alarms with absolute, deviation, band, or loop modes
- Optional RS485 Modbus RTU communications
- Front-panel setup in under 60 seconds, or full configuration via MAXVU software
Applications
MAXVU8 suits general industrial single-loop heating and heat/cool applications where a larger, easier-to-read display is preferred, including OEM equipment, packaging machinery, and process heating skids that need a reliable, quick-to-commission 1/8 DIN controller.
